Concentrate on? I would concentrate on learning the powersets by playing the crap out of them, and then adjust my slotting as necessary. Storm is a very powerfull set that you will never get a feel for on paper. You need to play it to figure out how to keep the mobs in your freezing rain patch, or to use a wall and hurricane to corner a mob so your tornado can rip it a new one. Dont get me wrong, you dont need to do those things, but you should know how.|

So the advice im looking for is this what should i concentrate for a bots/storm mm
pre thank you for all the info @Nutty |
Or are you asking about IO bonus's? Stormies go through end like crazy. More end = more super happy fun times. Stormies debuff the frag out of stuff and have long recharging dmg powers. The more you can fire off that stuff the better. That translates into recharge. 'caning the crap out of mobs will drop their tohit to bargain basement levels, pair that with defence and you will be very sturdy. Bodyguard mode and keeping the mobs focused on you, and not on your bots will make your toon pretty much unkillable.
If you have any specific questions, please let me know.
ok i dnt think i was very clear in what i was asking lol ty for the reply though i was asking what would people concentrate more on ie recovery, defence, health ect and what epic should i take?
That wasn't better asked in your other thread why?
I focused on softcapping first, then jammed as much recharge and recovery as I could fit.
I went mace for my patron, as it was easy to bring me up to the softcap with. Power boosted freezing rain, tornado and lightning storm are fun as **** as well. Some like elec fences from Mu for the -knockback. This powerset combo does so much kb though, that it seemed appropriate to embrace it, and yes, even come to love it.
what did you focus on for softcapping though s/l or ranged

ok and another stupid question is that with protector bots bubble (if ur a bots mm) and if so how did u slot ur protector bot?
Yes it is. 2 dmg/acc and 2 dmg/end 2 generic defence.
Blood mandate and Brilliant leadership.
kool that sounds gd to me and by any chance u know how much the def procs for pets give just so i can try softcapping them or geting as close as poss
5% each.
kk ty for the help 
ill post a build on here and hopefully u can give it the once over and give me ur opinions
Heres my build atm sorry i cant work out how to make it into simple form

With Bots / Storm your main strategy will probably be to drop Freezing Rain and debuff with Hurricane and / or Snow Storm as needed. I'd suggest focusing on getting enough recharge to use Freezing Rain every spawn and then worry about enough recovery to keep the storms blowing nonstop and some defense. At higher levels high recharge is especially nice since it lets you drop multiple Tornadoes and Lightning Storms (I'd go with the Mu patron pool to get the AoE immobilize with -KB). As for defense, your Protector bubbles give you positional defense and Smashing but not Lethal, so I'd focus on adding a bit of Ranged (also good for avoiding mezzes) and rely on Hurricane for the rest. If you don't use Hurricane, you may want to try for high Ranged defense or go with Scorpion and try for S/L, but I'd recommend focusing on recharge and recovery plus a bit of Ranged defense and using Hurricane or purple pills when you really need to not be hit.
Even against AVs Hurricane fully slotted for to-hit debuff is over 5% debuff, and against normal spawns it's a massive 35%. Against +2s or even +3s you won't need a whole lot of extra ranged defense beyond your Protector bubble (and Maneuvers if you choose to run it) to be effectively softcapped against Hurricaned targets, and most things won't be meleeing you at all. Once you get good at Hurricane herding you can shove things into corners and watch the bots burn them down while barely ever getting hit. Add in Freezing Rain for extra damage and as many Lightning Storms and Tornadoes as you can spam (just because it's insanely fun to do so 
) and you've got a great wrecking machine. The Tornadoes may actually hurt your damage unless you can immobilize the targets, but you'll have trouble resisting using them while solo because it's just so darn funny. Just don't do it on teams unless there's plenty of -KB or they don't mind chasing (that's why all-Storm teams are so fun, they never mind.)

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
Thanks Psy, That was making me go cross-eyed.
nutty_impman - Your defense seems high, as you will get 10ish% from you prot bot bubble. That will bring you up past 50% To each's own though I suppose. Also, I would try to get a bit of knockback protection in the build. Can easily drop one in combat jumping if you arn't married to the 10 hp. Other than that, the fun part is taking it for a ride, and seeing how it runs.

It raises my smashing and lethal as well as positional just fine, are you checking your attribute monitor for this info?

Doesnt mace have a aoe immobilize power called web envelope thats does - flt -rech and immobilises them ?? Also mace has boost power which will make the debuffing off all the powers higher when its on ?? I only ask that because mu might have a resistance based defence and a aoe immobilise power but then mace has a defence based power (smash lethal and energy) with resistances built in (yes its only toxic) with a aoe immobliser and also if u can spare the power slot a power that makes ur debuffs even higher. SO to me mace seems the better choise and if u can get ranged defence high with s/l and energy wouldnt that be a better option or am i just thinking the wrong way?

You are right about Mace, but Mu is the only AoE immob that has a -kb effect, which you can use to keep those mobs in your debuff patches and in the burn patches from the assault bot.

The reason people go with mu and electrifyiing fences is for the -kb it does. That way, your bots (which knock em back to hell) will no longer knock em all aboot and AssBot can lay overlapping burn patches and melt the spawn. That of course forces you into a resistance shield. And while layering defences are great, I prefer a Def shield to pair with all the -tohit from hurricane.
Like I said though, with storm, I have no problems locking down the spawn into a corner, or against a wall, allowing AssBot to lay overlapping burn patches and melt the spawn. So I embrace the knockback, am one with it, and dont try to negate it.
so im guessing its down to personal choise? plus theres also another factor that i forgot to menton im currently lvling (in a lvl pact) with another mm a thugs/storm so im not sure if the kb will b such a issue anyways ive got a new build if any1 would like to look it over and yes i went mace masterery.

Protector bots can use some end red, as they tend to run low in longer fights. But yeah, It is aways about personal choice. Least it should be.
so if i swapped out 1 of the def io's for a end rdxwould that help ?? or how about 3 hamis end rdx/def 1's

That would work fine. 3 cyto's is overkill imo.

lol yeah but i love overkill it makes me feel all warm and cosy inside :P
Two storm masterminds working in tandem are a complete wrecking crew. Mixing up the bots with thugs improves your damage because of the variety in damage types. Your duo should easily manage to force spawns against walls, into corners, cubby hole offices and deadends. The double freezing rain creates a kill zone par excellence.
I like the black scorpion shield on my masterminds. I think its a great fit for /traps, /storm, and /ff. Web envelope is a big AoE immobilize. It's worth noting: if I had a /storm partner level-pact, I wouldn't bother with the fighting pool myself other than for the procs and set bonuses.
Finally, when players export from Mids, if you select the Titan boards format, you don't get the cluttered look that the official boards option provides.

hey guys as the title says i dont have a clue when i comes to mm's and for those who have seen my atempt at a bots/storm build will know what im on about so im going to ask for some advice and then maybe once ive worked out what your on about ill post a build again and hopefully get it right this time. So the advice im looking for is this what should i concentrate for a bots/storm mm
pre thank you for all the info
